    Cannabis oil - TNF inhibitor?

    i use cannabis medicinally for cfs. it's the best thing i have found. i think it is because it decreases TNF. maybe i am that subgroup? Fluge and Mella (excuse spelling) are using Eternacept to decreases TNF. fish oil works well too apparently, a few studies supporting that - but you need to...

    Modavigil Modafinil Provigil Source

    Thanks, I have that but I don't find it as effective as modafinil. Modafinil can give a great 2 days of energy and concentration but then there is sometimes a price to pay but it is a handy tool if you need to complete something. BTW, where do you buy Trazadone?
